Sandy MacMullen To Be Inducted CT Lacrosse Hall of Fame
On Saturday November 16, Hopkins History teacher and lacrosse coach, Sandy MacMullen will be inducted into the Connecticut Lacrosse Hall of Fame at a ceremony to be held in Milford, CT. The mission of the CT Lacrosse Hall of Famie is to honor men and women, past and present, who by their deeds as players, coaches, officials and/or contributors, and through the example of their lives, personify the sport of lacrosse.
Sandy MacMullen is a native of Clinton, Connecticut who played at Yale under Connecticut Lacrosse Hall of Fame coach Bob McHenry, graduating and representing Yale in the New England All-Star Game in 1978. The following year he began as a very young varsity head coach at Hopkins School in New Haven. He never left. Over the last 35 years he has accumulated 250+ wins (he’s not sure exactly how many). In recent years, Hopkins teams were Fairchester League champions in 2006, 2007, 2008 and won the league tournament in 2013. Sandy was named Western New England Coach of the year in 2008 and is a three-time New Haven Register Coach of the Year. In 2005, Hopkins was the recipient of the Connecticut Lacrosse Officials Association Sportsmanship Award. The Connecticut Lacrosse Officials Association honored Sandy with the Joe Oliva Award for Contribution to the Game in 2013. Sandy still plays age group lacrosse, notably with the Connecticut Valley Lacrosse Club in the spring and in summer tournaments. He and his wife Carla have three children, Alexa, Angus, and Avery. Sandy MacMullen is being inducted into the Connecticut Lacrosse Hall of Fame as a truly great coach.
